On July 24th, 2013 we received another EB1-A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) for a Research Assistant Professor in the field of Organic and Green Chemistry (Approval Notice)
General Field: Organic and Green Chemistry Position at the Time of Case Filing: Research Assistant Professor National Origin: China Service Center: Texas Service Center (TSC) State Residing at the Time of Filing: Florida Approval Notice Date: July 24, 2013 Processing Time: 9 days (Premium Processing Service)
Case Summary:
The client in this case was a research assistant professor in the field of organic and green chemistry. He had extensive experience in phosphine-free Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and their applications for synthesizing heterocyclic compounds, as well as metalloradical-catalyzed asymmetric C-H functionalization, radical cyclization, and stereoselective organic synthesis. His work had resulted in at least 14 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 4 book chapters or review articles in review or published, and 6 professional seminars or presentations. His publications had garnered at least 396 citations at the time his case was filed, clearly demonstrating that he had influenced his field and garnered international acclaim. In addition, our client had reviewed at least 47 manuscripts for leading organic and green chemistry publications. Of his accomplishments, one of his independent recommenders remarked, “By taking on some of the most exasperating of challenges that organic chemistry has to offer and succeeding in finding their answers, [client] has provided integral information that has transformed the chemical community across the globe.” It was our goal to prove that our client qualified for classification as an Alien of Extraordinary Ability given that he sought to remain in the United States to continue work in the area of organic and green chemistry, and that his continued research would substantially and prospectively benefit the United States. With the proof and documentation that we provided, his case was approved in just 9 days.
